Welcome

Welcome to my new blog!

As a way to introduce myself I thought I would start by explaining what creating art means to me. For me art is a way to stop and smell the roses and to encourage others to do the same. As people run through their busy lives they often miss moments of beauty...the way the sun highlights the white branches of a sycamore tree in winter, the hundreds of different green hues in a spring landscape, the quiet promise of an empty beach during a summer sunrise, a single leaf caught changing into its fall wardrobe. My goal as an artist is to capture these moments as I see them so I can remember them and share them with others. A simple wish perhaps, but one that brings me joy.

I hope you will come here often to see what moments I am capturing and sharing.

Stacy! it's so good to know you're still w/the living! we were beginning to wonder, you bad girl. *lol* we miss you in our Sunday night chats. love the roses! Robin said this past Sunday we'd all be bloggin' soon. looks like she knew what she was talking about.:-)

Hi friends! So nice of you all to stop by! You know you are a tough bunch to keep up with, but I'm trying. :) So now you can stop pestering me to get a blog and start pestering me to update it instead. Such progress, eh?In all seriousness, thanks for your comments. You made my night!

About Me

Art is one of the ways that I slow down and appreciate life. It gives me an excuse to stop and smell the roses. I am inspired by the beauty I see everyday and enjoy finding a bit of happy to share with the world. I hope my art allows the viewer to pause and feel the beauty, fun and joy in life, because who doesn't deserve more of that? I work mostly with watercolors, graphite and charcoal, but I also like to explore other drawing media.
